...children may have hoped the words would still have force. If so, Terry's relatives say, they were too much for her to bear. She had dropped out of high school to have a baby with John; she stuck with him through 18 years and moved from California to Colorado to save the marriage. She had prayed that life with him would change. But it didn't. As Peggy Hernandez, a colleague of Terry's in California, told TIME, "John says all the words but doesn't mean anything...
According to forensic experts, on the afternoon of June 8, Terry Lynn Barton didn't just strike a match; she struck three--in multiple defiance of the fire ban she was duty-bound to enforce in Colorado's sun-sere parks. Barton eventually confessed that she got out of her truck, headed for a campfire circle, lighted the two-page letter and left once it had burned. Soon after, she returned to find grass burning.

Barton is the most despised woman in Colorado, as hated as Mrs. O'Leary after her cow kick started the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The fire has forced the evacuation of 8,000 people southwest of Denver and northwest of Colorado Springs, and could cost $50 million.

Pastor Ted Haggard, who started a church in his Colorado Springs, Colo., basement that now has 9,000 members, attributes the surge in End Times interest to the Christian media empire as much as anything else: "Because of the theology of our church, I don't think we're close to a Second Coming," he says. "But many...
Another writer might be overwhelmed by the grand scale of things, but Jenkins, an easygoing golf nut who lives in Colorado Springs, Colo., doesn't let it bother him. He doesn't slow the liquid-like pace of the novels even when his characters utter sentences such as "[H]e cannot be expected to handle the duties of both the U.N. and Botswana during this strategic moment in Botswana history, right, Steve?" Huh? No matter. Soon enough, the story returns to the explosions and earthquakes preceding Armageddon...
